Midsummer Magic

Midsummer Magic is all about the Infinity of Life and Art. Both are continually evolving, growing, shifting, and changing. Our Today is made up of beautiful memories, places, and experiences, combined with the life all around us Now.

This painting shows the lush forest and large blue heron of the Old Graue Mill. A magical place even today, with roots as steps to the overflowing river of life. Furthermore, the rains came and the waters swelled forcefully as the magical heron soared in like an ancient creature from another time. She stood her ground, patiently fishing for breakfast, just as the cranes of Egypt did in the long ago.

I see life and art as the Infinity symbol, the figure 8 of a hummingbird’s wings, flowing and expanding with each revolution. Just as we explore, discover, and return to ourselves as More than before. We are never-ending energy, interacting and observing the world around us. All our senses are heightened as we become the observer, writer, artist, photographer, capturing the moment in our creativity. We make the imagination become reality.

The 3 Hawks are my present time. They are a family training the baby to fly. Plus, he’s big, a bit clumsy, as all are constantly calling to each other from tree to tree. They surround our house with low swoops, perching on the the rooftop, and giving us a dazzling display of their power.

Therefore, this creates the balance of memory along with our Now moment of time. The eternal Infinity of Life. This Present Now is our moment of Power, as the Shamans say. It’s full of rebirth, and new experiences, as we move forward.

Plus, I’m in awe of the Nature around me. I evolve, shift, and become more, just as the river of life. So too, I’m never the same, always becoming More, as I become aware.

Above all, Living in Mindfulness slows down time, and takes you away from autopilot so you can truly feel events happening all around you. Also, Life becomes more memorable this way, fuller, and richer in every way. Your senses expand, and you begin to Know things deeply. The mystery and your Story grow as life continues and you return as a different person. It’s a Magical time to live, love, and remember who we are in our Soul.

Midsummer Magic is our Act of Being.

First of all, Accepting your evolution brightens your day. Also, balance the past with life today. Commit to being the Creator of your life.

Secondly, live in mindfulness as much as possible. Contemplate choices to make great ones. Release self-sabotage, that little nagging voice that holds you back. Give it a name, like Henry, and tell it thanks very much, but that you both will be fine.

Thirdly, embrace all your feelings. Even the dark side is a part of you so that you can find the light. Flip any negatives to positives. See anxiety as excitement as you enter a new adventure.

The only thing that matters is the life you want to live, and who you want to be. In addition, Self Compassion is major. Be gentle with yourself. No judgement. This is a new day in a new world, and you are what you believe.

Remember, we all are a work in progress, doing the best we can. Wishing you the Blessings of a Thousand Suns to light your path.
